My family and I go to the beach house every summer for vacation, and that has been our tradition since I was a little girl.
- The beach house that we stay in has been renovated a few times, but I think they finally have made changes that make sense for the style of the home.
One pretty drastic change they made was to install ductless mini splits instead of having central air conditioning. At first I thought this idea was really silly because central air conditioning seems to be the most favorite way to cool off in such a warm climate. I also like central air conditioning because you don’t have to monitor different units and splits. The owners decided they wanted to switch because the beach house is two stories and running the central air conditioner upstairs didn’t make sense for the amount of months they rent the house out per year. They decided they wanted the mini splits so that the air conditioning can be monitored and adjusted in different parts of the house depending on how many people were staying there at one given time. My brothers and sisters hated the mini splits when we first arrived at the house because they are a bit noisier than the central AC we’ve gotten so used to. But after a few days nobody really mentioned anything about it. We get used to things all of the time. We don’t like change when it happens, but once we stabilize ourselves in the new environment, we don’t even notice it anymore.
